Battle Academy: Operation Husky for iOS is out!

Epsom, UK – March 27, 2013 –
Slitherine (
www.slitherine.com) is proud to announce the
release of the long-anticipated
Battle Academy: Operation Husky. After turning the iOS wargaming market upside down with its
revolutionary gameplay system, the acclaimed
Battle Academy series is back with this latest add-on.

The new expansion covers the Allied invasion of Sicily,
codenamed
Operation Husky, which began on the night of 9–10
July 1943, and ended 17 August, adding extra Axis and Allies units
and a brand new Sicilian terrain set.

This large scale amphibious and airborne operation opened the
way to the combat in the hot and dry Sicilian landscape and the
Invasion of Italy by the Allied forces. The principle units
involved belonged to the 7th U.S. Army under the command of General
George S. Patton and the British 8th Army under General Bernard Law
Montgomery, gathered in the 15th Army Group, under the
responsibility of the British General Harold Alexander.

Land on the coast of Licata and push through the Sicilian
countryside to the volcanic slopes of Etna, neutralizing the German
and Italian troops in your way!

Can you do better than General Patton and Montgomery? Open the
attack on the soft underbelly of Europe in "Operation Husky", with
nine missions detailing the invasion of Sicily. With more than 30
new units, and missions ranging from the chaos of the initial night
drops to the grim battles across the baking hills of the interior,
Battle Academy: Operation Husky lets you test your tactical skill
against the tenacious Axis defenders.

Operation Husky is an add-on for Battle Academy and requires
Battle Academy to play!
